Game of Death

[seasong]

Cool hand luke, I thought I'd already sent you an answer... please send me a repeat of the questions you don't have answers to!

 

[cool hand luke]

sea song,
As of the time when I left work, you had given me an "i'll look at it" response. If you answered via email since then, I haven't seen it, (can't access work email at home).

if you want, you can either

1. do nothing, I'll see it in the morning.

2. email it to ljalbert@peoplepc.com

3. repost it here.

 

[cool hand luke]

also, are you going to let him do that rock trick during the prep round?

 

[seasong]

Sent it to your home e-mail.

Regarding falling rocks: That depends on what rock trick you are referring to. If he wants to drop a rock on himself during the prep round, I will certainly allow it.

If he wants to get a rock ready to drop during the prep round, and he can do it in 6 seconds, sure, that's fine too.

 

[cool hand luke]

thanks seasong. Appreciate it.

Can you please rule on how you are changing Haste? If you recall, it was a little fuzzy concerning magic items.

 

[seasong]

Scrolls are subject to the same limit of spells cast per round as normal spell casting. Everything I can find on the matter of how scrolls work indicate that they function identically to casting a spell.

Haste will not allow you to get around that limitation on the magical energies of spell casting.

Wands and staffs get around this limitation, because the wand or staff casts the spell for you - your action is merely to tell it to do so.

Most items will function like wands and staffs in this regard - you tell the item what to do, and it does it for you. Scrolls seem to be the only glaring exception.

If you have a specific item you need clarified on, e-mail me. Now that I've read through the rules, I should be able to give quick answers .

 

[Number47]

Nope. That answers it. I think the technical way you can answer it is, "spells or spell completion magic items". Wands and staves are spell trigger and potions are use activated.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Hrm, can you have a scroll that stores a spell that's quickened with the metamagick feat and use it as a free action? Or is it still considered a standard action. (Sorry if you answered this already)

Just chiming in, my character is actually nearly completed.

 

[Tisvon]

After looking at the falling rock trick, I've decided not to try it after all. (Too much cost for too little effect)

My character is almost done as well.
